Introduction
Kemio is a multiparameter instrument with three variants. Kemio Disinfection can test for bromine, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chlorite and peracetic acid. Kemio Heavy Metals can test for lead, arsenic, cadmium and copper. Kemio Multi can test for all of these. These instructions explain the methodology and care points in detail for each of these test types.
General Guidelines
Do not touch the sensor surface. Keep the instrument clean and dry during use. Keep the instrument on a level surface free from vibrations. Sensors perform within a specified temperature range. If the sample temperature is outside of the specified temperature range for the sensor, the measurement will proceed as normal but a note will be attached to the test result. For optimum performance we recomend sensors are stored at < 4° C (39° F) for over one year and < 20° C (68° F) for less than one year.

8 Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, and `Free and Total Cl’ Tests
Palintest’s chlorine sensors can be used to measure free and total chlorine simultaneously. On Kemio, select either free chlorine or total chlorine to display a single result, or “free & total” to measure and display both parameters. When using labels with the free and total test, labels set for both free chlorine and total chlorine are listed. The selected label limits apply only to the parameter they were set for in the configuration menu. Four different sensor types can be used to measure chlorine: CLO sensors are used for lower concentrations of chlorine.
0.02 mg/L – 10 mg/L of free chlorine 0.02 mg/L – 75 mg/L of total chlorine CHR sensors are used for higher concentrations of chlorine at higher temperatures 0.1 mg/L – 25 mg/L of free chlorine (5 °C – 25 °C) 1 mg/L – 500 mg/L of total chlorine (5 °C – 30 °C) CLT sensors are used for higher concentrations of chlorine at lower temperatures (2 °C – 15 °C) 0.1 mg/L – 25 mg/L of free chlorine 1 mg/L – 500 mg/L of total chlorine FHR sensors are used for high range free only chlorine 0.1 mg/L – 100 mg/L of free chlorine (2 °C – 20 °C)
UCasreerPoints
If chlorine dioxide is present in solution, it may interfere with the chlorine reading. Use the degassing step from the chlorite test to produce a chlorine dioxide-free solution. Ensure the vessel is washed with water between each test.
UResseurlts
Free chlorine and total chlorine tests display one parameter each. The free and total test result screen displays both results. The data log stores one entry for each test, requiring twice as much space in memory. The chlorine test methods display the concentration of free and total chlorine in units of mg/L or ppm Cl-.

Peracetic Acid Test (Peroxyacetic acid or PAA) 13
Peracetic acid (Peroxyacetic acid or PAA) is measured using Palintest’s PAA sensors for concentrations of peracetic acid ranging from 5 mg/L to 4000 mg/L. Three sensor types can be used to measure peracetic acid: PAA sensors are used for higher concentrations.
10 mg/L – 2000 mg/L of peracetic acid PAL sensors are used for lower concentrations.
0.02 mg/L – 50 mg/L of peracetic acid PAH sensors are used for higher concentrations
400 – 4000 mg/L of peracetic acid
Care Points
Hydrogen peroxide is found in solution with peracetic acid. Palintest’s PAA and PAL sensors are not strongly affected by the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Certain fungicides are known to interfere with the PAA sensor. Contact your Palintest representative when measuring water samples with fungicides.
Results
The peracetic acid test method displays the concentration of peracetic acid in units of mg/L or ppm PAA.

16 Chlorine Dioxide Test
Chlorine dioxide is measured using Palintest’s CDX sensors, for concentrations of chlorine dioxide ranging from 0.02 mg/L to 50 mg/L.
Care Points
If there is chlorine present in the sample, use Glycine reagent. If there is no chlorine present, skip the glycine step on p.18 Chlorine dioxide is a volatile chemical that leaves a sample very easily. Perform a test quickly after taking a sample. Do not agitate the sample.
Results
The chlorine dioxide test method displays the concentration of chlorine dioxide in units of mg/L or ppm ClO2.

5
If chlorine or copper is present in the solution, add three drops of glycine reagent to prevent them from interfering with the measurement. Use the stir rod to mix the sample. If no chlorine or copper are present, skip this step.
6
Pull the foil off the sensor. Close the arm. The test will start automatically. Wait one minute while the instrument performs the electrochemical measurement.
Chlorite Test
19
The chlorite test method involves three separate measurements of various chemical combinations in the sample, followed by some calculations to determine the total chlorite concentration. The test procedure must be followed carefully to ensure the chemical reactions and measurements occur correctly. A chlorine dioxide measurement forms a part of the chlorite test. However, in the chlorite test type, only labels and limits for chlorite can be selected.
Care Points
The chlorite test uses three CDX sensors. These must all be from the same batch of sensors. If sensors from different batches are used, it may produce inaccurate results. If there is chlorine present in the sample, use glycine reagent during the first CDX measurement. If there is no chlorine present, skip the glycine step on p. 21. Chlorine dioxide is a volatile chemical that leaves a sample very easily. Perform the first test quickly after taking a sample for an accurate measurement. Do not agitate the sample. If the chlorite test method is interrupted, or if an error occurs partway through the test procedure, the entire test must restart from the beginning to ensure accurate results. Use separate vessels for the first CDX test before the degassing step, and the second and third tests with CR-1 and CR-2. Do not mix up the two vessels. Do not let the kit stay wet. Trapped humidity could damage the kit components.
Results
The chlorite results screen displays two readings: the calculated chlorite result and the chlorine dioxide result measured by the first sensor. The chlorite test method displays the concentration of chlorine dioxide in units of mg/L or ppm ClO2, and the concentration of chlorite in units of mg/L or ppm ClO2.

If the sample is turbid (cloudy)
1
then it will need to be filtered to
avoid blocking of the ion exchange
cartridge. This can be done simply
by inserting a particulate filter
to the syringe in front of the ion
exchange cartridge.
Samples that have been acidified must be neutralized before analysis. Acceptable range is pH 4 – 7.
33
Ensure that sample is within the
temperature range 10°C – 35°C.
10°C
35°C
Always store the ion exchange cartridge in the tube it is supplied in.
3344
Darkening of the inlet end of the ion exchange cartridge is normal with some types of water. If this color extends the entire length of the filter then it should be discarded.
Speciated Arsenic requires two sensors to be used during the test procedure.
For valid results, these two sensors must have the same batch number.
Check and adhere to all local regulations regarding the disposal of the sensors, ion exchange cartridge and sample water.
Results
1
At the end of the countdown, the test results will display on screen. The number of results displayed depends on the test type. Disinfection test results are displayed in mg/L or ppm. Metals tests results are displayed in g/L or ppb.
35
Dilution
If a label with a dilution factor was used during the test, the factor will have applied to the number on screen. For example, if a 50mg/L solution was diluted 5X and measured by Kemio using a label with a 5X dilution factor, the result displayed on the screen will be 50mg/L. It is critical that the correct dilution is performed when a label with a dilution factor is used.
No Limits
If no label or a label with no limits was used during testing, the page title will be DETAILS on a blue background.
Limits
If a label with limits was used, either a green PASS or a red FAIL will be displayed at the top of the screen. This is simple traffic light system enables a quick and clear decision by the operator.
